Marines dismount from a Light Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle to raid a compound during the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Combined Arms Exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., June 12, 2016. Well-planned and aggressive training like this prepares the individual Marine to fulfill their role on the team, which in turn builds unit cohesion and increases the speed of mission accomplishment. MEUCAX is conducted to maintain a high level of combat readiness prior to the MEU’s Western Pacific 16-2 deployment later this year. The Marines are with LAR Company, Battalion Landing Team 1st Bn., 4th Marines, 11th MEU. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Zachery Laning/Released)

Lance Cpl. Michael Webster signals to his team while conducting a raid during the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Combined Arms Exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., June 12, 2016. MEUCAX enables Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 4th Marines to refine their offensive and defensive tactics at the company and battalion levels. This training enables the Marines to practice transitioning from an offensive attack to the defense position, both during day and night operations. The culminating event will involve a battalion ground offensive in coordination with Marine aviation close-air support.
